This is an all-color pictorial of a railroad where words of description often fall short: the Chicago. Milwaukee. St. Paul & Pacific. Pictured are all of nature's obstacles the Milwaukee Road boldly overcame: bitter winters; hot, dusty deserts: primeval forests drenched in rain and smothered in snow: crumbling mountain canyons: and five major mountain ranges. Photographic coverage follows each of the Milwaukee's mainlines, from Chicago to the great railroad hubs of Louisville, Kansas City, Omaha. Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul. Seattle and Portland. Its secondary lines and branchlines, into the gloomy forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. the picturesque dairy and corn country of Wisconsin. Illinois. Minnesota and Iowa, and across the infinite prairies of the Dakotas and Montana. are covered as well.
Pictured in this book are the unusual locomotives. passenger trains, and freight trains that made up this exciting railroad: Little Joe and boxcab electrics; a multitude of diesel locomotives from every manufacturer; passenger trains with the Milwaukee's unique and exotic streamlined Skytop observation-lounge cars; heavy trains mastering mountain grades with helper engines. Twelve maps with many detailed insets show the complete system. every operating division. the Milwaukee's major mountain passes, and major terminal areas.
